Adhere to the gentleman's principles

At the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Junning poured tea for Zhao Nian and waited for Zhao Nian's words. Zhao Nian drank the tea and looked at Zhao Junning: "Girl, when are you going to get married?" Zhao Junning clapped her hands happily and said: "Thank you, father."

Zhao Nian smiled and said, "You." Meng Xiangning was also very happy. At Guangping Marquis's Mansion, Li Ziyan hugged Li Yin and turned around after hearing the good news. Li Yin slapped him and said, "You little bastard, put me down quickly. Your father's bones are all broken."

After Li Ziyan put Li Yin down, he said, "Mom, I told you my dad would be able to do it."

Li Yin said, "Your Majesty has agreed. I will go to the Crown Prince's residence in a few days to propose marriage and give betrothal gifts in person." Li Ziyan said, "Don't worry, Dad. I will choose the betrothal gifts myself to help you. I will marry Jun Ning with three letters and six ceremonies, three matchmakers and six bridesmaids."

Li Yin said, "Of course you have to go through the three letters, six ceremonies, three matchmakers and six betrothals, and you have to cherish your wife. You're talking about being together for life." Xu Zhiwan said with certainty, "Yes." Li Yin approached Li Ziyan and said, "Don't worry, little brat. Anyway, the only mistake I made in this life was taking a concubine. If there is a next life, I would never take a concubine."

At the Prince's residence, "Princess, Marquis Guangping and his wife have come to propose marriage." Fuling ran to Zhao Junning's room and said. Zhao Junning stood up and asked, "Really? Where is Li Ziyan?" Fuling shook her head and said, "The young marquis is not here." The servant came to the door of Zhao Junning's room and said, "Princess, the prince asked you to go to the lobby."

Zhao Junning said, "Okay." Zhao Junning went to the hall and bowed, "Father, Queen, and Marquis, and Marquis's wife." Zhao Nian said, "Okay, come and sit down." Guangping Marquis's wife Xu Zhiwan was as happy as honey when she saw Zhao Junning. Guangping Marquis said, "Your Highness, the marriage is settled." Zhao Nian said, "Yes, Ziyan is a good child that the Crown Princess and I both like very much."

In the palace, Zhao Tianyin lay on the dragon bed and coughed desperately. After He Chengen brought the imperial physician, he began to feel his pulse. After several imperial physicians finished feeling his pulse, He Chengmeng asked, "How is it?" The imperial physicians shook their heads one after another, "I tried my best!"

Zhao Tianyin coughed and said, "He Chengmeng, please summon the children to the palace! I want to talk to them." He Chengmeng dragged his feet to the carriage. It happened that the Guangping Marquis and his wife had not left the Prince's Mansion. He Chengmeng bowed and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty summons you, the Crown Princess, the Princess, and the Prince of Nanyang to the palace."

After hearing this, Zhao Nian roughly understood what happened and saluted to Marquis Guangping: "My lord, we cannot talk anymore today. We can find a chance to chat some other day." Then Meng Xiangning, Zhao Junning and Zhao Nian got on the carriage and rushed to the palace. After the three of them entered Chengyin Hall, several princes and their families also entered the hall.

He Chengmeng helped Zhao Tianyin up, and the rest of the palace knelt down. Zhao Junhao rushed into the palace from the military camp upon hearing the news. Zhao Tianyin forced a smile and said, "This is the most we've ever seen together, except for the first night of the new year."

The three princes knelt down and held back their tears. Several princesses had already shed tears. Zhao Tianyin looked at his sons and said, "You four brothers have been harmonious since childhood, never fighting or competing with each other. I am relieved." The eldest brother Zhao Yi said, "As long as you are healthy, we brothers will always live in harmony."

The second son, Zhao Nian, said, "Father, please stop talking. Let Jun Ning check your pulse. Her medical skills are excellent."

Zhao Mo and Zhao Ji said at the same time: "Father, if you like, we can gather together every festival."

Zhao Tianyin coughed and smiled: "Silly child, isn't it nonsense to reunite during festivals? Yi'er, you are my elder brother, you must set a good example. Even if I die, you two must live in harmony."

Then he looked at his daughters-in-law and said, "My daughters-in-law are the most trustworthy. I am relieved to have you to supervise them."

Then he looked at his three grandsons and said, "Jun Han, Jun Qi, Jun Hao, come closer." The three knelt closer, and Zhao Tianyin said, "Good children, Grandpa Huang is usually strict with you. Do you hate Grandpa Huang?" The three shook their heads and said, "Grandsons thank Grandpa Huang for his strict teachings."

Zhao Junhao said: "My grandson would like Grandpa Huang to teach me more. My chess skills have not improved yet."

Zhao Tianyin touched Zhao Junhao's head and said, "How could you not learn since you were a smart kid?"

He looked at Zhao Junhan and Zhao Junqi and said, "The Emperor is waiting for you two to find a granddaughter-in-law for me, but it's a pity that you can't see it." He coughed even more frequently.

Zhao Junhan said: "I see, Grandpa Huang is going to live for a hundred or a thousand years."

Zhao Jun Ning choked up and said, "Grandpa Emperor, please don't say anything. Jun Ning will feel your pulse and heal you."

As he spoke, he approached the bed and took Zhao Tianyin's pulse. Zhao Tianyin grabbed Zhao Junning's hand and said, "Girl, do you still blame Grandpa Huang? Does it still hurt?"

Zhao Jun Ning shook her head and said, "Grandpa Huang is doing this for my own good. I have never blamed him for not loving Jun Ning."

Zhao Tianyin wiped the tears from Zhao Junning's face: "In the past, Grandfather thought you were too smart like Miao'er, but later Grandfather realized that your personality is nothing like your aunt. Instead, you are stubborn and determined like Grandfather. Don't cry, you are going to be a bride and you can't cry. Grandfather is very satisfied with the son-in-law you chose."

Zhao Junning looked at Zhao Tianyin with tears in her eyes. Zhao Tianyin said, "Good girl, can you call me the yellow-skinned old man again?" Zhao Junning nodded and suppressed her emotions and shouted, "Yellow-skinned old man."

Zhao Tianyin smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "You have been brave since you were a child. You are the only one who dares to call me that. Every time I hear you call me a yellow-skinned old man, I think of your grandmother. I am going to meet her."

Then he said to He Chengmeng: "Proclaim the imperial edict!"

He Chengmeng swallowed back her tears and held the imperial edict. Everyone knelt down and He Chengmeng shouted, "The Emperor of Heaven and Fortune decrees that Crown Prince Zhao Nian is a man of great literary talent and wisdom, and will soon inherit the throne. Princess Feng Ling is heroic and valiant, and is now named Princess Yuegu. The King of Rui, the King of Qin, and the King of Ning are both virtuous and talented, and their daughters are all named princesses, and their sons are all appointed to recruit talents. I decree this."

Zhao Nian slowly took the imperial edict and the heavy imperial seal: "Thank you, my emperor. Long live the emperor." Zhao Tianyin panted louder: "Okay."

Then he looked up and said, "Yao'er, I'm here to accompany you!" After he finished speaking, his head dropped and He Chengmeng supported him and he fell into his arms. He Chengmeng choked and said, "The emperor... passed away."

Zhao Junning collapsed on the ground, tears falling drop by drop. She cried out in pain: "Grandpa Emperor!"

When Li Yin and his wife returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Li Yin looked up at the sky and said, "This day has come so quickly."

On this day, the entire palace was painted white, and everyone knelt in the mourning hall, wearing plain clothes. The day for the burial was chosen. Three days later, all the ministers followed the funeral procession. "Enter the funeral, and enter the imperial mausoleum."
